A very special gift and a very special visit

Look what I received in the mail from Molly at Birdie Blue  birdiebluesky.blogspot.com … she mailed me the actual card of Fluffy !!   THANK YOU so much Molly for your generosity !!   (I have identified another crafting “need” a decent scanner.)

Now about the special visit ... an absolute motherload of treasures (overload) !!

In my search for cute, chubby faced, big eyed, kids, I happened upon an Etsy shop physically located near my hometown.  I contacted her (Elizabeth at Grandmothers Attic) and she allowed me to pick up my purchases up at her house.  A sweet young lady, greeted me on the front porch of her wonderful victorian home, invited me in, I walked through the door and literally froze in my tracks !!!   Oh MY GOSH !!!  Absolute heaven !!!  I have never, never, ever, ever, seen sooo many wonderful treasures (antique malls included) under one roof !!!  If Elizabeth doesn't have what your looking for I bet she knows where to find it!  

I had asked her if I could see some of her other books, and oh my ... there they were at my fingertips the cute kids I've seen in so many places in blogland; I was overwhelmed with big eyed kids from the 40’s ... cute overload !!   She and her husband spent quite a while talking with me and gave me a tour of treasure filled rooms in their home (I couldn’t focus for gawking, too many sooo many goodies, lost all restraint, just made a fool of myself !!)

I came away with this book, but she has another one in her Etsy shop it’s wonderful !!   I'd post the other goodies I bought, but both cameras have dead batteries … I know, I know  I’m going to have to do better if I’m going to hang out with you guys !! 

Stop by Etsy and visit Elizabeth at Grandmothersattic or her blog http://smirleyworld.blogspot.com/
